Welcome to my permanent shite list, ForeverLSU02.

But yes, I could care much less.

Yes, I do. So the situation doesn't apply there.

Exponentially, as in "His batting average would be exponentially higher if he could learn to hit a curve."

The proof is in the pudding. Wrong. The proof of the pudding is in the tasting.

Well I've been keeping track of my poops since 1998 on an excel spreadsheet. So I've always assumed that was where it came from.

I used to think it was "nobody does it like Sara Lee".

My mind was blown when I found out it was "nobody doesn't like Sara Lee"

I still think my way is better.

When people say, "That is all." at the end of a written message.

Like I would just get to the end and be wondering, "Are they finished?".

Bullets don't even travel through water well enough to hit fish at the bottom of the barrel with lethal force


I think there was a mythbusters episode where they tested this and when they shot the barrel all the fish died.

Forreal? I thought bullets only traveled a couple feet in water?

Hiding underwater can stop bullets from hitting you.
PARTLY CONFIRMED
All supersonic bullets (up to .50-caliber) disintegrated in less than 3 feet (90 cm) of water, but slower velocity bullets, like pistol rounds, need up to 8 feet (2.4 metres) of water to slow to non-lethal speeds. Shotgun slugs require even more depth (the exact depth couldn’t be determined because their one test broke the rig). However, as most water-bound shots are fired from an angle, less actual depth is needed to create the necessary separation.

So the bottom fish are safe from a .50 cal, but shotgun blast takes them all down.
